What's Your Game Type

Which type of player do you fit into?
we will see that we always find everyone at our tables, but many times we can not identify which is which, can you identify these players?
heve different types of players, each one contains its own way of playing. So it's worth getting to know them, to know what kind of strategy to use when facing them. It is difficult to check a player's personality in the first round, but pay attention to all the moves he makes; although players always adopt new strategies, they end up yielding elements of their personality without realizing it when they transform a style of play into habit, that is, any play becomes standard.

Passive- do not offer much danger, but that's the problem,Remember, against this type of player it is difficult to take much profit at a single time

Aggressive- players who play aggressively are those who easily get carried away by the opponent's behavior

Rock- This player has this name because it acts just like a rock,One tip when dealing with a Rock is to be cautious

Now you can see in which of these positions do you fit?
I usually say that I am all of them at the same time when I am in a game, getting to do some stupid things, and in this way generating another name outside the ones mentioned above..(donkey)
Few admit, but on many occasions we play wrong, and we blame everyone, except ourselves, for the human being is easier to blame others, when in fact it should put the blame himself

You literally can't label my playstyle. When I began poker I was an absolute rock, I had no idea what I was doing and broke even (yes I did break even from my very first session onwards) but then I realized that I'd never ever profit as I leaked too much via BB and that was on FREE poker site names replaypoker.com where I am username 'genuineliar' but literally haven't played there for months.

Anyway, aside from the fact that I am a rock who changed his ways immensely, I will explain to you some other mistakes you have made here.

Tight-player play few hands. The famous opportunist

I am an extremely opportunistic player but I am not on the tight side. My VPIP (which is percentage that I voluntarily put money in the pot preflop) is averaging ~40% which is very loose compared to the average shark which would probably be around 21-24%. I will literally play 7/5 if I believe there's low chance of a preflop raise just to confuse people.
So I am opportunistic, I am not "tight"

Loose-Usually plays many hands

I'm again not entirely loose. A typical loose player may well have around 50% VPIP which is looser than me by a bit but unlike them I make it work so well. Because I only ever play no-limit holdem rather than limit forms of poker, I make my exploitative playstyle cause my upswings to be more than my downswings frequently.

I used to sit on tables and turn my buy-in into 7x its amount if I sat there long enough. that's how good I can be but the problem of course is when Ig et to 4x the buyin some other player with 5x the buyin badbeats me or coolers me and bam it's all gone do I've come to the rigid habit of leaving the table if I have 2x'd my buyin and there's someone else on the table with a stack that can threaten mine if they shove or call my shove.

So I'm not really "loose" but I'm definitely not your run of the mill tight player.

Passive-do not offer much danger, but that's the problem,Remember, against this type of player it is difficult to take much profit at a single time

this is the easiest player to profit from. If they are passive and fold a lot, you can steal blinds so easily from them if you are positioned to their left (anti-clockwise). If they are the loose-passive type who barely raises and just calls, you completely control the pot size and how much you are risking, this is the single best form of fish and the one type of player where textbook TAG poker actually works efficiently against them.

Aggressive-players who play aggressively are those who easily get carried away by the opponent's behavior

You really don't understand aggressive players. They are not at all the ones who get carried away they DO THE CARRYING AWAY. I am aggressive (AF 55% but this changes all the time. See my post-flop aggression and even preflop raising are very randomised, this is intentional stupidity on my part because I love when people can truly not figure me out regardless of the quality of their HUD.

Rock-This player has this name because it acts just like a rock,One tip when dealing with a Rock is to be cautious

If I am on a table with very loose players or headsup with an all-in maniac, of course I will become a rock but not otherwise!

I am literally all four poles depending on my opponent. Most fish these days are either TP-sided or LAG-sided so I exploit those 2 fish differently. Most sharks these days are TAG but this makes them too easy to read, especially with VPIP of like 18% and PFR of 4% you just KNOW from preflop how strong a hand they have based on what they do.

for every occasion I know how to change my game style! not right now to say I have a style of just playing! You can not take it to the letter! need to adapt with the table! if you have too aggressive and looser I need to explore this by opening them with a better range and so on! my style is chameleon

the ways you described aggressive players and tight players are totally wrong. Looser players are good opportunists and aggressive players, if good, are the ones who make the others react they aren't getting swayed themselves.

Very good your option, sometimes being a chameleon is the best strategy, congratulations

Aggressive, when the flop is good for me
Passive, when I have good hands and the flop is not good

It all depends from the table and my chips ( i play freerolls) but mostly i wait nice hand, or try to see flop if there small poket pairs.

If you want to win something in poker, you need to be aggressive. Sure, you need to be patient, because if you will loose your patience, you can loose all your chips in a few hands.

I think most of the answers and my answer includes a variety of game type for different games and stages of those games. Someone said chameleon above and that’s a great way to be. There are too many factors and variables that should adjust your game type.
